Testimonials
"When I received the DME report I was pleasantly surprised that it was far less biased than I had expected, ultimately contributing to a very good settlement. While I cannot know whether Evelyn's presence at the DME was responsible for the fairness of the report, this experience left me feeling very confident that I could rely on her for future DMEs."

"Thank you, Evelyn - hoping the case settles today, but we will have to wait and see. As always, you bring real value to the process on our side, particularly being able to provide input the day of the exam was helpful in forming my value of the case and being able to justify it both the defense counsel and to the client during the course of negotiations (which I hope wrap up today)!
